Guys, it's December. The holiday season is upon us! As Elsie and I started to think over our holiday gift shopping lists, one thing that came to mind was, well, you guys! We are so thankful for our ABM readers! We seriously have the best little corner of the Internet, and it's all because of you and your support. If we could, we would give each and every one of you a gift this holiday season. But that's not exactly possible (although we wish it was!). But, that got our minds thinking…
Here's a preview of some of the prizes: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8
We decided that for 12 days we're going to host a series of giveaways here on the blog, just for you. Each day will have different prizes and a corresponding number of winners. So, on the twelfth day, there will be twelve prizes and twelve winners. Get it!? We'll be giving away a few handmade items (made by the ABM team!), ABM products, and some collaboration items as well. And of course, on the last day there will be a BIG prize.
We'll be using a slightly different entry method for this giveaway. We'll unveil that tomorrow (when the giveaway begins) but one thing we're excited about is there will be different options and opportunities to enter. So you can get multiple entries per giveaway, if you want. :)
Here's the catch! We'll be randomly choosing a winner from the first 100 entries. So the quicker you are, the better your chance of winning will be! We'll be launching each giveaway at a different time everyday. Some will even be super late at night (for us) since we have so many awesome international readers as well. We won't be posting about these on social media, so you have to check here to catch them going up!
Just check back often, and you'll have a higher chance of winning!
We wish we could give each and every one of you a homemade batch of cookies, a handmade card, and big hugโbut we'll settle for 12 days of giveaways. Your creativity, positive outlook and kind comments inspire us daily. We love you guys! Happy Holidays from Emma + Elsie

I love that you are taking us, international readers, into account for the giveaway, and what an excellent idea this is! Love you guys
You guys are the best. You might as well put on your Santa hats (which you already have as seen on your photo) and scream Ho ho ho. You’re playing Santa this Christmas and I cannot express enough how thoughtful that gesture is. ๐
